stty - (BSD) set the options for a terminal
/usr/local/heirloom/usr/ucb/stty [-a] [-g] [-h]
[options]
Stty sets certain I/O options on the current terminal. With no argument,
it reports the current settings of selected options; the -a flag causes
it to report all options. With the -g flag, stty prints all
settings in a form that can be passed to it again to restore the current
settings. The -h flag prints a table of all control characters in
addition to the output given with -a.
Special option values recognized only if given as single argument
are:
- all
- Print the normal output followed by a control character table.
- everything
- Same as -h.
- speed
- Print the speed rate.
- size
- Print the rows and columns of the terminal.
If either -g, speed or size are given,
stty uses /dev/tty to get the terminal settings, otherwise, the
standard output is used.
The option strings are selected from the following set; where an
option is shown prefixed by `[-]', it can be negated as described in the
text.

A control character may be either given as a literal character, or
as `^c' for ASCII control characters CTRL-c; the
special values `^-' and `undef' disable the control function.
Multibyte characters cannot be used as control characters; trying to do so
will result in the control character set to the first byte of the multibyte
character sequence, which has the undesired effect of applying the control
function to more characters than the one supplied.
